This is a must, if one want to dig deep into the Africanity of Ancient Egypt, not for the kind of folks who don’t like to read or rely on picture spam without context trying to gaslight you, they ignore what folks in the field have to say , it’s not enough to spam and compare random Egyptians today with those of yesterday anyone can do that, is not difficult what maybe difficult for some is actual reading and doing cross references, but this is known for a very long time, I have more up to dated studies to this effect, but this is so good it should never be forgotten.
The Peopling of ancient Egypt and the deciphering of Meroitic script; proceedings
Conference:
Symposium on the Peopling of Ancient Egypt and the Deciphering of the Meroitic Script, Cairo, 1974 [14]
Introduction.
The Symposium on the Peopling of Ancient Egypt and the Deciphering of Meroitic Script1 was held in two stages: the first took place from 28 to 31 January 1974 and concerned the peopling of ancient Egypt; the second dealt with the deciphering of Meroitic script and took place from 1 to 3 February 1974. The meeting opened with an address by Dr Gamal Mokhtar, Under-Secretary of State, Egyptian Ministry of Culture, who was followed by Mr Maurice Glélé, speaking on behalf of the Director-General of Unesco. Mr Glélé emphasized the important place occupied by Egypt in the project for the General History of Africa, by virtue both of Egypt's historic and cultural ties with the rest of Africa and of the fact that Dr Mokhtar was a member of the International Scientific Committee responsible for the scientific supervision of the drafting, and the editor of Volume II.
Mr Glélé reminded the meeting that Unesco 's aim in the project was to present a new picture of the history of the peoples and of the continent of Africa through the use of new methods of approach, analysis and interpretation. The members of the International Scientific Committee had thought it necessary to convene a symposium on the peopling of ancient Egypt to bring together a number of specialists of world repute from different countries. The purpose of this was to review the knowledge at present available about the ethnic origins and anthropological relationships of populations and about the cultural ties between Egypt and the rest of Africa.
The participants, as scholars, were invited to clarify and establish the facts, providing rigorous scientific supporting evidence; to approach the questions put before them calmly and with an unwavering regard for scientific truth; and to adopt the genuinely scientific attitude of open-minded inquirers, prepared to countenance the possibility of having been wrong, or simply uncertain of the facts.
The symposium elected the following officers: Dr Mokhtar (Egypt), chairman; Professor Théophile Obenga (Congo), vice-chairman; Professor Jean Dévisse (France), rapporteur. 1. The list of participants is given in Appendix 2, p. 133
